bro lake George is officially the "king" of being overfished lol. Four 7 hour outings in the past two years and have only had 2 chasers and we're usually in 70-80ft. Will probably start targeting perch or something on another lake lmao
Most people up here don't have a problem with people fishing "their" lake at all. What they have a problem with is people trashing their private property. Lake George is a big lake that can handle pressure but it doesn't have enough access for the amount of people fishing it. So what happens is private access spots where you can park 5-6 vehicles reasonably would be tolerated and allowed. Now those spots have 40+ vehicles trying to park any which way they can fit and are blocking the road and driveways. Residents complain. Neighbor allowing the access doesn't want to upset the community. Access denied. Beating a dead horse but it's going to get worse. The attitude of "I just drove four hours to fish the "king" so I'll park wherever because it's life or death if I can't jig up 23 inch lakers." Has and is killing all little private access points that have been open for years. I wouldn't drive 4 hours to fish Lake George anyways.
Have to get away from the crowds. Most people walk out few hundred feet and sit w the mob and dont move all day, then say it sucks. That goes for lakers and perch. Just because fishing 70-80 fow of water doesn't mean you are on laker grounds.
how far out of the bay at vets have the machines been going? thanks
Warning to anyone fishing out of vets. I like to get out early and off the ice early but when I got back to my truck and trailer on Saturday around 10:30 am I had to wait almost 2 hrs for someone to show up and move their vehicle because some idiot thought it would be fun to block me in. But I was not the only one, there we people blocked in all over the place. People show up late and just stuff their vehicle anywhere they can without regard for anybody else. Hopefully karma will work it out.
Had a great weekend on Lake George. My buddy got his personal best Laker which measured 37" and weighed 14.7lbs. This fish was released to fight another day. We set tip-ups for lakers and jigged for panfish. I did manage one surprise 28" laker caught on the fly above my Hali on my lightweight perch rod, that was a blast!
Anyone been out on Huletts lately that can give walking and lake conditions? Thanks
I was out Sunday and the walking was not great and getting worse: some areas had slush under a crust that would break as you walked on it, some areas had water under the crust, and some areas were wet areas that had frozen and were slippery. We got about three more inches of wet snow yesterday and it was almost 40˚ and raining a bit today.The forecast for tomorrow is highs in the 40's and chance of afternoon rain, so things won't get any better until we get some cold weather again.
Thanks guys, that's what I was afraid of, similar to Schroon, maybe the slush is a little worse here. Need some warm weather to knock it down then some cold to button it up.
In that order
Just call the cops on them and they would probably get their info. off their license plate and call them or call a tow truck. And that's the reason I don't fish the weekends, idiots like that. IW
